yard help

[trainsmaster2142]

hi i am working on a yard for my route and i am trying to stop my cars before they come to a buffer is their any stoppers or speed reducer track accessories

Could you provide a bit more detail? How are you operating the yard, is it a hump yard or are you using a shunter and do you mean AI operated engines or are you doing the driving yourself?

If you're driving yourself, you will need to stop the consist before it hits the buffers.

If it's an AI controlled consist, the AI should stop before the consist hits the buffers. Most buffers are set up as signals and as there is no track beyond them, they are always set at danger which will stop the AI driver.

Hope that helps.

trying to use it as a hump yard i have the one track a 7.00 height and the yard at a 0.00 height and a ai train i have a command to nav to via trkmark stop and decouple from train
first test the consist rolled down and derailed (cars only not loco)
second test added a bridge hump at 3.00 still derailed
third test same bridge but 5.00 (dont want a raised yard cause i have to make a track connection at 0.00)

Hi there.

There are indeed retarders available but they are from www.trainzproroutes.com site. Check the following KUID 101340:1590306 on the DLS which refers to them. I think the item you're after from TPR is the humpyard kit.

Cheers.

Retards & Hump Yard will not work in 2010 Native mode. I had the same problem with the rotary dumper with kick-back. I solved the run-a-way car problem by placing a car midway on the receiving track, this will slow down & eventually stop the cars.

Speed retarder,<kuid2:30671:23301:1>

That does work in TS2010 native mode;

Unfortunately the retarder is not on the download station, which makes it useless for routes intended for distribution. Other option is to bend the end of the yard tracks up to a 4% or 5% grade at the end, stop them with gravity.
